Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets - the accounting programs - are one of the most useful tools to be found on a computer and children in KS2 will become very familiar with them in ICT.
Spreadsheets are interactive computer accounting programs that are very versatile. They make storing, organising and analysing data much easier than it once was. Spreadsheets are tables which you can tailor to any size you need and they can display any data you put into them in the form of numbers, text or even graphics. They are used by businesses and other organisations for many purposes, including accounting and record keeping. They are also used by people at home to work out their budgets, and by people at school to display the results of their science experiments as a graph. They are one of the most useful of all the different computer programs.

You are creating a spreadsheet to calculate the cost of a party. You want to know how much you will spend on pizzas. Why is it better to use a formula rather than working out the calculations yourself?
It will make it easier if you want to rearrange your spreadsheet
A formula will instantly calculate the change in cost if you need to change the price of the pizzas
The spreadsheet will be tidier if you use a formula
It is always faster to calculate in your head rather than to use a formula
A formula will instantly recalculate if you have to change any of the numbers which it uses. In this example, that could be the price of pizza, the number of people coming to the party, or even how many pieces of pizza each person will have
